TL Beer Garden

No Longer In Business

Visited February 10, 2014.

This is an interesting place. It’s on a main street (Mathilda) right off the freeway (101) with a nice patio / beer garden that is enclosed. It’s hidden away so you can sit outside and have a beer in a large parking lot next to a busy street and not know that you’re in a large parking lot next to a busy street. They also open at 11am for lunch in case you’re the type the needs a beer at lunch to get through the day. I asked for a menu but what they handed me was a list of odd flavors. Is this place a hookah bar? The website shows a list of burgers that are all either $7 or $8 and some sausages that are $5. I wish I had seen the real food menu because it sounds like a pretty good deal. Next time.

For beer they have a couple dozen taps all varied in style. I spotted some Bear Republic and Moylans hoppy beers, the Gulden Draak quad, a pils from Figueroa Mountain, Hofbräu Märzen, and a tripel from St. Feullien. I spotted several beers that I had never seen before that I can’t remember. The Knee Deep beer was pretty good, as they usually are. The service was very friendly. I will be stopping back in for a burger one of these times.
